A massive landslide hit the road to Badrinath in Uttarakhand on Friday.

Over 11,000 pilgrims are believed to have been stranded.

The landslide took place after a major portion of a hill collapsed on the highway near Hathipahad, blocking the road and causing several vehicles to be stuck on both sides.

Efforts are going on to help clear the debris so that pilgrims can continue their journey to Badrinath.

The Indian Army and the local administration are working tirelessly to provide food and shelter to the stranded tourists. It will take around two to three days for the authorities to clear the passage.
